It's 1985. Ten years after the untimely death of Heath's father. The Overseeing Officer departs to New York City where the Reeds name is an idol to the people of Ellyra, though, the surviving face of his late father's legacy has never wanted anything to do with it. He immediately knows he's in over his head when he makes a political appearance to keep the world sane and finds his childhood crush back from the dead. The only problem is... she doesn't remember him.
She doesn't remember anything.
Between keeping his job, his family, and his emotions in check, convincing her to trust him suddenly takes precedence when everyone's lives depend on it. But sometimes our choice isn't as simple as living or dying when the possibility of life lacks the comfort it normally holds.
That certainly becomes the case for Afara Wells, one of many children who were abandoned by their parents during The Sick.
Upon meeting Reeds and the strange group of individuals hellbent on taking her hostage, she makes her deal with the devil. However ridiculous it may be, she trusts him to escort her out of District Two and explain how his father's lab is connected to her family's disappearance.
Nothing is what it seems once she arrives at a college for the godly-gifted and secrets buried long ago begin to unveil themselves. The result changes the trajectory of everyone's plans to live a life as close to normal as possible...
Or as close to normal as living in a post-pandemic, government-seized, and plague-powered world would've let them.
